@kimlaw Because putin wants to recreate the old USSR into a "greater russian world" so as to rival the west as a true superpower once again. He had yanukovych ready to fly in and take over after the 3 day regime change. Which failed and since then its been about saving face of which he has no way of really doing so. First it was going to be a corridor from the far west to the far east east incorporating odessa. That failed. Now hes stuck just trying to hold onto what hes got, tho at an enormous cost in russian military losses. With mobilisation its just going to increase that cost. It has never been about nato or genocide by nazis etc. It has always been about imperialism and power. Basically nazi in principle as he has used his propaganda just like the nazis did to create the ethnic division and hate required for conflict escalation. His state tv transmitting to all the ethnic russian border regions of ukraine since he came to power. He is just another nationalist/fascist in europe like hitler, mussolini and milosevic before him. Cold hearted, cabbage brained killers, all of em.
